OPEN GROUND GROWN ROSES 
25 Cents Each; $2.50 Per Dozen, Postpaid 
The Parcel Post, with its increased weight limits and decreased rates, is 
working a revolution in plant and seed distribution. We can now make 
postpaid prices on these large, two-year-old, open ground rose plants and 
send them postpaid to any postoffice or on any R. F. D. Route in the coun¬ 
try. These prices, however, do not include postage paid to Cuba, Mexico, 
Porto Rico or any of the Central American countries. 
To meet the demand for strong, two-year-old open ground roses, we have 
grown for us each year several thousand of the plants here in the open, 
ground in a soil that brings roses to a perfection found nowhere else in 
this country. 
We haven't a word to say against the small pot-grown roses which are 
planted each spring. We sell tens of thousands of them ourselves, and some 
of the finest rose collections in the South have been grown from small pot- 
grown plants. There are, however, a great many people who want quick 
results. These open ground roses are just wliat they need. Planted out in 
November and December, they begin to bloom in earliest rose-blooming 
weather, and furnish an abundance of bloom the first summer. None of the 
petting and nursing necessary to bring up a small rose to the satisfactory 
blooming stage. Our open ground roses have got the strength and vigor 
and growth necessary to give you the large size bloom the first season. You 
save from a year and a half to two years in getting satisfactory flowers by 
planting out these open ground grown plants. 
We will ship none of these large plants until sometime between October 
15th and November 1st. We want them thoroughly dormant before ship¬ 
ping, so that they will carry in the very best of condition and be sure to 
live when planted in your rose garden. 
PriPDC Except where noted, prices are 25 cents, each; $2.50 per dozen;
